If anybody here is using gnome instead of KDE, there is "GSConnect" that allows you to use your current desktop environment with KDEConnect on your android mobile phone.

In a similar vein, I am not on Gnome or KDE but have been using the basic kdeconnect functionality, such as sharing clipboard and transferring files, through kdeconnect-cli quite happily. It comes with the standard kdeconnect installation I believe.

http://manpages.org/kdeconnect-cli

still, on my xubuntu system

    sudo apt install kdeconnect --no-install-recommends

wants to install 101 packages :(

That's the joy of Qt for you.

It shouldn't be so bad though, the whole set of packages is probably a couple hundred of MB, IIRC.
